What Is Cleft Rhinoplasty?
A cleft lip or palate can affect breathing, speaking, and appearance. Cleft rhinoplasty helps improve nasal function and shape for better balance and comfort. Every patient has unique needs, and Dr. Jose Rodriguez at San Diego Plastic Surgery Center tailors this procedure to enhance function and appearance. Cleft rhinoplasty is a specialized procedure that corrects nasal asymmetry caused by a cleft lip or palate. This condition can impact nasal cartilage, nostril shape, and breathing. Over time, these concerns can affect facial balance and function. Cleft repair rhinoplasty is often performed in childhood, but some patients seek revision cleft rhinoplasty surgery later in life. Whether it's a first-time procedure or a revision, the goal is to restore better nasal alignment and function.
